It is so terribly tedious to read the IMDb comments that slang a movie; of course I am no professional film reviewer but the overblown pretension's of these wannabe critics is virtually beyond imagination; they must think they are still trying to impress a Yr 8 English teacher. Diane and I saw the film this afternoon and we both were numbed by what we saw. This movie brings into question the nature of movies; what are they; how do we measure their worth; are there cinematic absolutes? This movie was so different; it crossed conventional film markers and rather than judging its worth by "the accepted standards", it moved beyond those standards to a new, unexplored realm of film making and Diane and I were mesmerized by the result. If you watch this movie, watch it with fresh eyes; do not allow old Hollywood movie making standards to cloud your eyes with lock-step attitudes towards something that crosses, what you may feel, are the traditional methods of film making. This is an extraordinarily uncomfortable film; a film that carries messages far beyond entertainment. SEE IT!
